Two stroke Pumping Technique for Many-Body Systems
Serge Galam
I introduce a new analytical framework for estimating critical temperatures in interacting many-body systems, focusing on the Ising model. Combining the Bethe cluster setting, the…
Unanimity, Coexistence and Rigidity: Three Sides of Polarization
Serge Galam
Political polarization is perceived as a threat to democracies. Using the Galam model of opinion dynamics deployed in a five-dimensional parameter space, I show that polarization i…
Opinion Dynamics and Unifying Principles: A Global Unifying Frame
Serge Galam
I review and extend the set of unifying principles, which allow comparing all models of opinion dynamics within one single frame. Within the Global Unifying Frame (GUF), any specif…
After 2018 Bolsonaro victory, is a 2022 remake feasible?
Nuno Crokidakis, Serge Galam
We propose a contagion model to describe the evolution of the political voting trends in Brazil after the dictatorship from 1985 to nowadays. We consider a fully-connected populati…
Radicalism: The asymmetric stance of Radicals versus Conventionals
Serge Galam, Richard Brooks
We study the conditions of propagation of an initial emergent practice qualified as extremist within a population adept at a practice perceived as moderate, whether political, soci…
Deviations from the Majority: A Local Flip Model
Gabor Toth, Serge Galam
We study the effect of probabilistic distortions to the local majority rules used in the Galam model of opinion dynamics and bottom-up hierarchical voting. A different probability…
Will Trump win again in the 2020 election? An answer from a sociophysics model
Serge Galam
This paper predicting Trump victory has been submitted before the election and revised after, allowing to add a Foreword and Note Added in Revision to discuss in details the causes…
Asymmetric contrarians in opinion dynamics
Serge Galam, Taksu Cheon
Asymmetry in contrarian behavior is investigated within the Galam model of opinion dynamics using update groups of size 3 with two competing opinions A and B. Denoting and …
Crediting multi-authored papers to single authors
Anna Tietze, Serge Galam, Philip Hofmann
A fair assignment of credit for multi-authored publications is a long-standing issue in scientometrics. In the calculation of the -index, for instance, all co-authors receive eq…
Fake news and rumors: a trigger for proliferation or fading away
Ahad N. Zehmakan, Serge Galam
The dynamics of fake news and rumor spreading is investigated using a model with three kinds of agents who are respectively the Seeds, the Agnostics and the Others. While Seeds are…
Tipping points in opinion dynamics: a universal formula in five dimensions
Serge Galam, Taksu Cheon
A universal formula is shown to predict the dynamics of public opinion including eventual sudden and unexpected outbreaks of minority opinions within a generic parameter space of f…
Dynamical Galam model
Taksu Cheon, Serge Galam
We introduce a model of temporal evolution of political opinions which amounts to a dynamical extension of Galam model in which the proportions of inflexibles are treated as dynami…
The Trump phenomenon, an explanation from sociophysics
Serge Galam
The Trump phenomenon is argued to depart from current populist rise in Europe. According to a model of opinion dynamics from sociophysics the machinery of Trump's amazing success o…
The invisible hand and the rational agent are behind bubbles and crashes
Serge Galam
The substantial turmoil created by both 2000 dot-com crash and 2008 subprime crisis has fueled the belief that the two classical paradigms of economics, which are the invisible han…

Natasa Golo
The results of the public opinion poll performed in January 2015, just after the terrorist attack on the French satirical weekly magazine Charlie Hebdo and the kosher supermarket i…
Testing the validity of the Kirkwood approximation using an extended Sznajd model
André Martin Timpanaro, Serge Galam
We revisit the deduction of the exit probability of the one dimensional Sznajd model through the Kirkwood approximation [F. Slanina et al., Europhys. Lett. 82, 18006 (2008)]. This…
Modeling Radicalization Phenomena in Heterogeneous Populations
Serge Galam, Marco Alberto Javarone
The phenomenon of radicalization is investigated within a mixed population composed of core and sensitive subpopulations. The latest includes first to third generation immigrants.…
Conspiratorial beliefs observed through entropy principles
Natasa Golo, Serge Galam
We propose a novel approach framed in terms of information theory and entropy to tackle the issue of conspiracy theories propagation. We start with the report of an event (such as…
Communication impacting financial markets
Jorgen Vitting Andersen, Ioannis Vrontos, Petros Dellaportas +1
Behavioral finance has become an increasingly important subfield of finance. However the main parts of behavioral finance, prospect theory included, understand financial markets th…
From Public Outrage to the Burst of Public Violence: An Epidemic-Like Model
Sarwat Nizamani, Nasrullah Memon, Serge Galam
This study extends classical models of spreading epidemics to describe the phenomenon of contagious public outrage, which eventually leads to the spread of violence following a dis…
Between order and disorder: a 'weak law' on recent electoral behavior among urban voters?
Christian Borghesi, Jean Chiche, Jean-Pierre Nadal
A new viewpoint on electoral involvement is proposed from the study of the statistics of the proportions of abstentionists, blank and null, and votes according to list of choices,…
